An introduction on devising music sessions for students with autism and its associated conditions in a music education environment. The training will provide an understanding of autism, how music can support a young person’s development and best practice for working with the additional needs of these students.

Session Leader: Soundabout
Soundabout was launched in 1995 in Oxford with the aim of empowering school staff working with children and young people with special needs to make music interactively with their pupils with severe and complex disabilities. This charity has pioneered the use of music, rhythm and sound to give disabled children and adults a voice, a way to express themselves and be listened to.
